That's what 11-yr-old Dakota Goyo has got. In a fun, action movie that sucks in the viewer to the extent that we are screaming along with the crowd at fights, Goyo is the catalyst to much of our response, although he has help. Hugh Jackman has never slipped in front of the camera, whether he's playing Wolverine, Nicole Kidman's brawny lover in Australia or hell, even hosting the Oscars. So Goyo was learning from the best, if he needed to. But here's my forecast: The kid's going to be a major player in Hollywood. He's got the emotion and vulnerability that will make every viewer his biggest fan.
PS. Robots this slick almost overwhelm the human actors. Much like the simian in Rise of the Planet of the Apes.
